‘Healthy Living’ Summer Series – Diets and Balance

Diets! What diet works? Are diets good for you? When should you try a diet? If there was an easy answer, we would all know it by now. The key, according to most experts, is balance. Watch your energy (calories!) input vs. energy output (how much your body burns naturally and with exercise).

I spoke with Shawn Stevenson, host of the podcast “The Model Health Show,” in this episode. Understanding how your body works helps you understand how to better balance your diet, so you don’t have to actually go on a diet. And sometimes feeling too restricted won’t help you with your success. Use a mindful approach when eating – *think* before you act.
